Ugh, I would not want that. XD
I know this is late in commenting on the first episode, but I've watched Strawberry Panic, and TBH, it sort of bored me at times, although still good.

True.
I'd prefer the current Sumi-chan than an aggressive Sumi. I think that the purity of the show is one of it's strong points, for example Aoi Hana and Marimite.
I think that one of the reasons why some of the yuri animes appeal to the male-audiences' is also because of that

overall not bad, this can be a normal love story if they replace the tall girl with glasses with a boy

gogo Sumi chan

Um, that will make the main couple visually similar to Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu.

Episode 2, haahaha, now THIS is the Sasameki Koto I know and love! And oh god, Masaki......!

Yes! What a great episode, in every way: drama, humor, animation (very slightly off-model on a couple of occasions), backgrounds, music, writing, storyboard, direction. And especially voice-acting: of course Takagaki Ayahi was great, but little-known Shimizu Ayaka as Masaki was also perfect. As for humor (with a serious undertone), that one scene up against the wall was totally hilarious.

Solid second episode, just like the first. There was comedy in this episode compared to the first, which is good because there's quite a lot in the source material, so i didn't want it to feel like they were editing it all out.

I just adore how this series can display such raw emotions without even having to say much on the topic. The score does a outstanding job at backing up such scenes, does help that the music placement for this adaptation is spot on.

Akemiya saying that he finds Sumi cute was always one of my favorite scenes in the manga, and i'm glad it was done well here. It's also good that they didn't give any hints towards him being the girl from the magazine. Such an adorable trap, and so fitting for this story.

Poor poor Sumi. My heart is breaking apart having to experience all this again, though i'm very glad that this adaptation is doing the manga justice.

Personally, if episode 2 was the first episode instead of the actual first one, I would have had a much, much higher opinion of the show. I think this was a great episode. Also, any man who is cross-dresses just to get closer to the girl of his dreams deserves at least some consideration by said girl. Unless of course you're a Mako-chan and you enjoy it too much.

What disturbs me more than the existence of a trap in a yuri anime is...
that the said trap enjoys what he is doing, even if he's in a denial about it.
Well, half-hearted denial anyway.

Paving the way for Hourou Musuko?

Next time they should adapt Yubisaki Milk Tea for anime.
It's... just bizarre, in a good way. But it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
